Content Warning 2: In this session, table disciple was cast aside - somebody (Dave mostly) was eating biscuits close to his mic. I did the best I could but I have not managed to get rid of all the munching. Use the chapter timings if you want to skip the worst of it, or if your podcatcher dies use chapters skip to 36minutes in. Believe me, it's worth enduring to  the cliff-hanger.
